'I Do (Cherish You)'

98 Degrees

Originally recorded by country music artist Mark Wills, 98 Degrees released their own version of 'I Do (Cherish You)' in 1999. The love song became one of the boy band's biggest hits, and the music video makes it perfectly clear why this is a great wedding song choice.

Best Wedding Song Lyric: "I do cherish you / For the rest of my life, you don't have to think twice ... I've waited so long to say this to you / If you're asking do I love you this much, I do."

'All My Life'

K-Ci and JoJo

Many music critics called 'All My Life,' released in 1997, K-Ci and JoJo's best single -- and listeners worldwide agreed. It was nominated for two Grammys and hit the top 10 in almost a dozen countries around the globe, including here in the U.S.

Best Wedding Song Lyric: "You turned my life around, you picked me up when I was down ... All my life, I've prayed for someone like you / And I thank God that I finally found you."

'This I Promise You'

'N Sync

'This I Promise You,' penned by '80s radio mainstay Richard Marx, conveniently has your wedding vows placed right there in the title. 'N Sync took the song to No. 5 on the pop charts in late 2000, and the emotional and loving song spent months on the Adult Contemporary charts as well.

Best Wedding Song Lyric: "And I will take you in my arms / And hold you right where you belong / Till the day my life is through, This I promise you."

'Before Your Love'

Kelly Clarkson

Fresh off her 'American Idol' win, Kelly Clarkson released 'Before Your Love' in 2002 (along with her first single, 'A Moment Like This'). It's since become a wedding staple -- and given the romantic lyrics, that's hardly a surprise.

Best Wedding Song Lyric: "I never lived before your love / I never felt before your touch / But then again, I wasn't really living / I never lived before your love."

'Halo'

Beyonce

Released early in 2009, Beyonce's 'Halo' made the top five on singles charts all over the world and has since been covered by several other artists. In the song, Beyonce's stunning vocals paint a beautiful picture of a sublime love, making 'Halo' a perfect fit for any couple's happy day.

'Truly Madly Deeply'

Savage Garden

Aussie band Savage Garden released 'Truly Madly Deeply' in the U.S. in 1997, and it stayed on the Billboard Hot 100 for an entire year. And with lyrics full of loving promises and hope, the song was likely used at weddings during all four seasons.

Best Wedding Song Lyric: "I'll be your love, be everything that you need / I'll love you more with every breath, truly madly deeply do."

'Crazy for You'

Madonna

'Crazy for You' was the first single released from the 1985 soundtrack album for the film 'Vision Quest.' It was also Madonna's first ballad -- and one of her most popular to date -- and showed off a softer side of the provocative star.
